Forecasts

Wise Approach (11/8), Tadej (3/1), Jan Steen (11/2), First Legion (6/1), Spaceman (7/1), Side Deal (11/1), Romeo Montague (16/1), Kinnalargy (33/1), Full Gas (40/1), Isambard Kingdom (66/1), Going Commando (200/1), Lina Codina (250/1)

It was only ¾-length that separated WISE APPROACH and Tadej when the pair finished 1-4 respectively at Ascot 15 days ago, with the former only needing to be asked to do just enough when it mattered. A well-made sort, he can confirm those placings under a penalty with plenty more to come now upped to 6f. Tadej is certainly open to improvement himself and rates a big threat, ahead of easy Thirsk winner Jan Steen. Side Deal and First Legion, expensive buys at the Breeze-Ups, also command a look.
